at some point, can we just use common sense? everyone knows what this woman meant by her comment. why does everything have to be politically correct to a fault?

Same thing happened to Howard Cosell in 1983 during a Monday Night Football game where he said "look at that little monkey go" while a black guy was running the ball. He got in a lot of trouble until video showed him using the same term for a white guy in a previous game. Bottom line is, there are a lot of new rules to live by regardless of how inane they are.
